New KB articles February 10-16

Now that Windows Server 2008 and Vista SP1 have released to manufacturing, you can expect to see quite a few KB articles coming out for those products. Before I list the ones relevant to Directory Services, here are a few general ones to be aware of –

Description of security events in Windows Vista and in Windows Server 2008

Previously I had mentioned the Server Core Step-by-Step Guide that does a great job of giving you the command-line equivalents for common admin tasks. One thing it does not cover is how to uninstall applications from Server Core, but I did come across this blog on the subject. Under the covers when you uninstall a program, the Add/Remove Programs (XP/2003) and Programs & Features (Vista/2008) control panel applets are just running whatever is specified in the UninstallString registry value under HKLMSOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionUninstall, so on Core installs of Server 2008 where those control panel applets do not exist, you just find that registry value and run the command it specified from the command-line. Be sure to check out the Server Core blog for other tips on Server Core.

Error message when you try to use the Active Directory Service Interfaces extension for Terminal Services to read the properties for a user on a Windows Server 2008-based computer: “The directory property cannot be found in the cache”

On a Windows Server 2003-based computer that has a TCP Chimney Offload network adapter, the TCP data stream may be corrupted when the network adapter indicates an MDL chain whose starting MDL has a nonzero offset

Error message when you try to access an administrative share on a Windows Vista-based computer from another Windows Vista-based computer that is a member of a workgroup: “Logon unsuccessful: Windows is unable to log you on”

There doesn’t appear to be any KB article with number 935834, and internally here I don’t see any record of it either – are you sure that is the correct number?

If you can include a copy of the exact event you are looking for more information on, I can try to find out some more.

Thanks,

oh sorry for misleading you.

What I mean is Event 2886 from ‘Microsoft-Windows-ActiveDirectory_DomainService’. It refers to the following link: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=87923. And this link seems to be actually KB935834, and this article is not online yet.
